Le porte urbane della Mostra d'Oltremare

The Mostra d’Oltremare, an unrepeatable field of experimentation for the modern Neapolitan architecture in the late thirties, appears today as an island with an uncertain destiny, a fragment of an “idea of city” irremediably frozen in time. The contribution exploits the opportunity of studying the original projects of the Triennale d’Oltremare gates – nowadays no longer existing or heavily altered – to generally question itself on the future of the Mostra and on possible strategies for reconnecting the modern ensemble to the contemporary city.
